Alice had been putting supper upon the table, but at this she dropped the dishes and flew at him.
 You bad, wicked boy; she said, shaking him and covering his face with kisses, it ever you utter such treason again, shall punish you dreadfully. Oh, John, when l think of the old days at my uncles when my heart was chilled by coldness; and neglect, 1 am wick. ed enough 10 thank God because, my uncle betrayed his trust and fled; but for that you never would have told me you loved me. John dear, when l think of my happi- ness as your wife, 1 almost trem- ble lest something come to mar it.n
 Forgive me, Alice, but it was for your sake l regretted the loss of the luxuries you must miss."
 As if ever had any luxury that compared to precious, sweet boy" suatching him away and ending the discussion.
 Supper over, Dr. Stanly en- sconced himself in the great crim- son armchair and enthroned his son upon his knee, while Alice dropped the red curtains after one shivering glance at the bleak night, then, bringing her sewing, prepared to hear all the doctor had gathered up in his days tour around the three villages. A great sigh of content welled from Dr. Stanley's heart as he contem- plated the cozy room, his wlfe's fair face; and the smiling little one on his knee. No crowned king ever enjoyed greater happiness than is compassed by these four wall," he thought.
 He was deep in funny story when sharp knock checked the laugh on Alice's lips, and her eyes grew anxious as the little maid en- tered with the always dreaded yell low envelop. Dr. Stanley tore it open quickly and read;
 "Come at once. Bad smashup. DENIsON.n
 He placed the boy in the cradle, and quietly began his prepara' tions. Alice was silent; she knew it was useless to attempt to ds- suade her husband from doing what he deemed his duty nor was she n woman to do 1t, yet there was a sharp pain at her heart which impelled her to say as he tenderly kissed the child; Git will b. dreadful going to LOrimcr to- night, John."

The Portland Club.

We are permitted To make the following
extract from letter from gentleman in
Portland TO a friend in this city, relative to
political clubs, explaining something of the
nature and makeup of the Portland Club ::
The Portland Club is primarily Il social or
ganization, and is political only because its
members belong to one party. 1t was not or
gained for political purposes and is not like
ly to participate in campaign work 1t af-
fords conyeniences and comforts to its mem
bers, and in the only practicable way, oppor-
tunltles never before existing in Portland for
the entertainment of visitors to their city Its
city club house is open day and evening, and
is found very convenient to its members for
business as well as social purposes, as they
have right to invite persons who are not
members to meet them there for business
purposes, aud there is scarcely a day or an
evening in which the rooms are not occupied
for business consultations. Save in the test
of republicanism, it is in no sense exclusive
Its rolls contain the names of old men and
young men, bankers, capitalists clerks, doc
tors, editors, employees, employers, lawyers,
manufacturers. mechanics, merchants rich
men and poor men, men in active business
and men retired from business. Its member
ship is not confined to Portland, but embraces
number of gentlemen from various parts of
the State. TO my knowledge the subject of
politics has never been preached at any of
the business meetings of the club. | know
Of no instance of the rejection of an applica-
tiou for membership. The policy of the
club has not been to urge men to join, but to
wait for applications that may be made for
membership and where one has been asked
to join dozen nave applied for membership.
No one need imagine himself excluded who
has not thus applied; and am confident that
the club would gladly receive applications
from any who would appreciate the opportu-
mites afforded through, and the purposes of,
its organization.
